Fisher-Price 3-in-1 SnugaPuppy Activity Centre for babies and toddlers has been recalled over safety fears

A Fisher Price toy designed for babies and toddlers has been recalled due to a serious risk of causing injury or death by choking. The Fisher-Price 3-in-1 SnugaPuppy Activity Centre has been recalled due to fears the detachable tissue box attached to the toy can come apart, exposing the small support brackets to young children. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) have advised anyone who owns the toy to remove the tissue box toy from the activity centre immediately and place it out of reach of children. There have been two reports worldwide of the tissue box toy coming apart, according to the ACCC. No incidents have occurred in Australia and no injuries have been reported. The SnugaPuppy was sold in Australia between December 2022 and September 2023. It was available for purchase online and in stores at Catch, Kmart and Target. Fisher Price is owned by manufacturing company Mattel, and the ACCC have advised anyone seeking information on how to return the tissue box component and receive a free replacement for the activity centre to get in touch with their customer service team. The toy is described as having “three ways to play as your child grows”, and was advertised as suitable for newborns, babies and toddlers. “The soft play mat gives newborns space to stretch, while the spinning seat gives babies all-around access to a variety of sensory toys and activities, including a light-up xylophone with 20 minutes of music! As they grow, toddlers can stand and explore all their favourite activities around the table,” the product description outlines.
